People paid for gasoline inside of the gas station. Everybody I knew had Pogs. You had no idea what you were getting into when you went to see Battlefield Earth. The news had nothing but boring/peaceful stuff. The Cold War was over, so people were starting to relax. Sure, there was war and stuff in Africa, and the Glbum-Stegall Act was being nutered. Nobody noticed that kind of stuff, though. I kinda miss the days when something like Clueless was on TV, and you could watch in quiet horror. Before the days of “reality TV”, before the Empire.
